Reality, Number Three
|
I
had been drafting a blog to follow the messages and thoughts featured
in some on my last Blogs when I came upon the following summary of a
presentation by Dr. Charles Krauthammer.
I believe it is outstanding and offer it to all as this week’s blog.
I
have just spent some time with some of my children, grand children and
great grand children. I hope to live to see them enjoy many of the
freedoms I have enjoyed as a result of our forefathers work and fiscal
discipline.
Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a
lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear
Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed
room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The
ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their
children.
Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center
for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual,
seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his
analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He
is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views.
He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for
writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes
weekly for the Washington Post. The entire room was held
spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we
are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.
Even
2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel
like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk
the Kool-Aid, feel free. Summary of Dr. Krauthammer's comments:
1.
Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not
to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his
emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask.
The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing
accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit
them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
2.
Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He
has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your
position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he
SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!
3. Obama has a
ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make
something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including
dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his
ambitions, as the public would not go along.
He has a heavy
hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution
and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to
model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.
4. His three
main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL
HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the
auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early
bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle
growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most
scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add
46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs
will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with
massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God
forbid!
5. He has surrounded himself with mostly
far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a
candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto,
financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't
work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a
far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He
ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again,
watch what he does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really
see himself as President of the United States, but more as a ruler over
the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate
& coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees
moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany
and England was a prime example of how he sees America, as an
imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble
nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President
ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
7.
He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain)
will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would
like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his
successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer
believes he is a narcissist.
8. Republicans are in the
wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are
pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like
him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby
Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of
the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage.
Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be
seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious
candidate in the future... We need to return to the party of
lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong
national defense, and state's rights.
9. The current level of
spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending
trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation,
depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into
prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass
because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come
due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the
stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's
allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get
support for #4 above.
10. The election was over in
mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we
had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely
without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra
of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have
won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
11.
In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be
swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to
roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all
be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about
what's happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing
revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to
keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be
hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country,
before it's far too late.
